The lead petitioner in one of the recall petitions against Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D), Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Attorney General Dana Nessel won a Appellate Court ruling upholding the factual language for the recall, though the petition said that they will not pursue the signature gathering effort.
The petitioner cited the COVID-19 shut downs. Petitioners would need 1,062,647 signatures to get on the ballot, and thanks to changes in the law enacted by the GOP-led legislatures in 2012, a removal of Whitmer would simply lead to the elevation of the Lieutenant Governor. Presumably, if the entire state elected team was removed, they would have eventually hit on a Republican to take over.
